SEW ER SERVICES CHARGES All owners of property connected to the sewer system of the East Brunswick Sewer Utility shall pay to the Utility a base sewer service charge in accordance with the following schedule: The sewer service charge shall be at the annual rate of $280.00 for each Service Unit. The classification of establishments connected to the sewer system and the Service Units chargeable to each such establishment shall be as follows: 1. Residential Establishments: a) Each single family residence - One service unit b) House trailer shall be one service unit 21935 10-10
& 219-11 EAST BRUNSWICK CODE & 219-11 c) Each apartment in a m ulti-family dwelling, apartment house, commercial or other building, shall be one service unit. 2. For all other buildings or establishments, including com m ercial establishments, industrial establishments (with only domestic sewage), schools and public buildings, the charge shall be the greater of: a) 0.1 service units per 10,000 gallons of sewage flow or part thereof; or b) The number of service units as specified for the particular classification in & 219-11(O) hereof, multiplied by the annual rate set forth herein. The volume of sewage flow on which the determination of the unit charges applicable under (a) above are based shall, except as otherwise provided for herein, be assumed to be the same as the quarterly volume of water use as determined by the East Brunswick W ater Utility. Volume of water use does not apply and shall have no impact on rates charges by service unit classification under (b) 3. W ater used but not discharged into sanitary sewers by Commercial and Industrial Establishments. W henever any commercial or industrial establishment uses water in such manner that water used is not discharged into the sanitary sewer system of the East Brunswick Sewer Utility, the quantity of water so used and not discharged into the sanitary sewerage system shall be excluded in determining the sewer charges for said premises; providing, however, that the quantity of water so used and not discharged into the sewerage system is m easured by a device or meter approved by the Superintendent and installed by the owner of the premises without cost to the Utility. In lieu of the installation of a device or meter for measuring the quantity of water not discharged into the Utility’s sanitary sewerage system, the owner of the premises may install, at his own cost and expense, a device or meter for measuring the quantity of sewage discharged into the Utility’s sanitary sewer system.
W hen, in the opinion of the Superintendent, it is not practical to install a measuring device to continuously determine the quantity of water discharged into or not discharged into the sanitary sewerage system, the Utility shall determ ine, in such manner or by such method as it may prescribe, the quantity of water discharged into the sanitary sewerage system, either as a percentage of the total volume of metered water use or otherwise. Any dispute as to the estimated amount shall be determined by the Utility and its decision shall be final. If the owner of the property is not willing to accept the determination of the Utility he may be required, for the purpose of determining future sewer rental charge, to install an approved measuring device as described in the paragraph above. 21936
10-10 & 219-11 SEWER UTILITY & 219-11 4. Sewer Charges to Commercial or Industrial Establishment without separate water meters W henever two or more establishments are served by a single water meter the Utility may estimate the amount of water delivered to each establishment and may apply full or minimum charges to each establishment as enumerated above. If the owner of the property does not agree to the Utility’s determination of the sewer charge as set forth above, he shall, at his sole cost and expense, install separate meters for each building or establishment on the premises. 5. Floor Drain Charges 1. Floor Drains - 0.30 service units per 1,000 sq. ft. (or part) of building are tributary to floor drains. 2. Vehicle Bays - Additional 0.33 service units per bay where occasional car washing may be expected Additional 0.66 service units per bay where occasional truck washing (exterior or interior) may be expected. 6.

Such Connection Fees, which are and constitute a one time initial charge for the right to connect to the Utility’s sewer system, are an integral part of the Utility’s Rate Schedule and are a distinct and separate charge from all other rates and sewer charges and payment of one shall not constitute payment of the other. 21937
10-10 & 219-11 EAST BRUNSWICK CODE & 219-11 Connection Charge - The connection charge shall be a fee charged to any customer of the East Brunswick Sewer Utility at the time of connection of the facility or facilities of said customer either directly or indirectly to any portion of the East Brunswick Sewer Utility system , or at the time when sewer service becomes available, calculated on the basis of capital costs expended by the Utility to the date of calculation together with accrued interest thereon. The connection charge shall be updated from time to time by the East Brunswick Sewer Utility to reflect additional capital costs and additional interest accrued on the East Brunswick Sewer Utility sewer system. The current connection charge is $2,264.00 per Service Unit. Upon an addition, alteration or change in use of any building already connected to the Utility system , an additional connection fee may be charged based upon the sewer connection designations. D. W ASTE SURCHARGES W aste volum es shall be based on a metered flow, corroborated (when requested) by water meter records. Charges for volume shall be as shown in the rate schedule. W aste strength shall not exceed the limits listed in the section entitled Industrial or Commercial Service without pretreatment. Where samples indicate that strengths exceed those of a domestically equivalent waste*, and if such wastes have been introduced into the Utility sanitary sewer system, surcharges will be imposed as follows: 1. The surcharges for suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand, chlorine demand, and other materials shall be those actual charges to the Utility by the MCUA, as the same may be revised from time to time, plus 25% to cover the Utility’s costs of administration and for the impact of those excess waste strengths on the Utility’s sewer system, plus any and all testing costs associated with determining the excesses of parameter limits. 2. The surcharges for grease, oil, fats, either vegetable or m ineral, shall be $.50 per pound for the concentrations in excess of the allowable limit of 100 mg/L.
3. W here any samples taken be EBSU or by the customer shows an excess of suspended solids and BOD is excess of 225 mg/L, grease and oil in excess of 100 mg/L, and chlorine demand in excess of 10 mg/L, then such surcharges as may be developed shall be applicable to a full or partial quarter assessment against the tested customer. Notwithstanding the above-referenced provisions, the Utility hereby establishes an average surcharge limitation program for surcharge billing for any parameter limitation listed in the East Brunswick Sewer Utility Rules and Regulations. Acceptance into the program is limited to those customers who: Have a minimum history of at least two years of surcharge testing data available, and Eligibility for continued acceptance in the surcharge limitation program shall be conditioned upon the customer meeting the following conditions: 21938
10-10 & 219-11 SEWER UTILITY & 219-11 The customer shall pay all surcharge billings from the Utility within thirty (30) days of receipt of such billing. The failure to pay such surcharge billings within the thirty day period will result in an automatic cancellation of the customer’s participation in the average surcharge program. As a condition for acceptance into the surcharge program, a customer agrees to the following:
a. The Utility will utilize, at a minimum, six (6) months surcharge testing data to establish the average limitation for each parameter. b. The Utility will thereafter use the quarterly surcharge test results to modify the customer’s average limitation for each parameter. However, results which vary with the customer’s established average for any parameter by fifty percent (50% ) or more will be discarded unless subsequent test results substantiate the higher test results. c. Any modification to average limitations will result in the recalculation of the customer’s current surcharge billing. The Collector of Revenue shall have the discretion to make any modifications necessary to insure that the intent of the average surcharge limitation program as approved by the EBSU is adhered to. *For sewer service charges, domestically equivalent sewage shall have a BOD5 and suspended solids limit of 225 mg/L or less, and a chlorine demand of 10 mg/L or less. Surcharges will be based on the excesses of BOD5, suspended solids and chlorine demand over the limits as noted above. E. PAYMENTS OF CONNECTION FEE For single family home, existing prior to the installation of collection lines by the Utility, and applying and connecting within thirty (30) days after notification of availability of services by the Utility, payment must be: 1.
